History of Arc de TriompheA fervent admiror of the Romans, Napoleon, the French Emperor, followed their example and commissioned the Arc de Triomphe in 1806. His troops never marched through the arch as the Duke of Wellington defeated him at Waterloo in 1815. The Arc de Triomphe was finally completed in 1836, 15 years after Napoleon's death. |
